Gen. Sheridan q Farmer.

Gen. Phil Sheridan is, although it is not
generally known, an Ohio farmer. Many
years ago an uncle Of his, John Minor,
purchased the "Pigeon Roost' farm in
Ohio, and settled there. Having made o
snail payment on the land, he set to work
Clearing and raising crops, but the land
was poor. Sickness and the death of his
Wife after long illness left John in bad
financial shape. The mortgage became
dl,e, and the distressed old man, with his
home full of children, was about to be sold
ont by the sheriff.
Phil was then lieutenant, I think,
stationed in Oregon. Hearing from his
brother at home how it was going with
his uncle, he sent his small earnings land
1t took it alb to the rescue, bought the
land, telling his uncle ITO remain there
as long as be lived, which he did for seven
osun years, without cent of rent. The
land was very cheap in that rough locality
then, but since the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad has tapped it ON the southeast
corner, making it one of the most desirable
mining tracts in that township, worth not
less than $3.50 per acre, the sympathetic,
Gndhearted lieutenant of thirty years
ago has lost nothing by his investment,
besides the pleasant and gratifying
thought Of saving home for his old
upcle during his lifetime.
The present tenant of the sPigeon
Roost" farm is Billy Sharkey, the son of
ono of the veterans that followed the
general up and down the Shenandoah
valley, and when storm damaged his
crops, the general sent word to his agent
not to charge him any cash rent if he had
bad iuck.-Ben: Perley Poore.

The Einperor of Austria.

The emperor stands in plainly fur
nished study in undress uniform, without
star or grand Gordon, and he greets
everybody with an engaging srlilo and q
good natured gesture Of the hand, which
seems to say: "There is no ceremony here.
Tell me your business and if can help
you will" The emperor of Austria has
q penetrating eye and quick, catching
manner. By glance he makes people
feel at home and by a word draws from
them what they have to say. Then he
gives his own answer straightout and
fearlessly, but generally with an acqui-
escing smile, and whatever he promises is
faithfully performed. There is nothing
petty or evasive in him. He is monarch
who replies by ''yes' or "no," but always
with so much courtesy that the humblest
of his subjects receives from him at de-
parting the same bow that he vouchsafes
to ambassadors. A most lovable trait in
him is that whenever lie sees anybody
nervous at his presence he makes the au-
dience last until by his kind endeavors
the nervousness has been completely dis
pelled.-Boston Transcript.

Extent of Mexico's Trade.

I have travelled all over Mexico, and
think that know that country and its
capabilities very thoroughly. This knowl-
edge caused me to listen with surprise and
amusement to the grave discussions l
hear on all sides concerning the best
means of securing the Mexican trade
No schemes are too extensive in the eyes
of their projectors for gaining possession
of this trade, and greatly increased pros
perity is predicted for the southwest when
this shall be secured. The fact of the
matter is, that there is no Mexican trade
to amount to anything, and never will be.
With the exception of the valley of Mex
leo, the country is practically desert as
far as agriculture and industry is con-
cerned. The land is poor, rugged and
generally destitute Of water, and can
never be more than q mining and grazing
country. The habits of the people are
simple, their wants few, and these wants
are nearly entirely supplied at home. AS
far as imports are concerned. any one of
our large cities could gain or lose the en-
tire trade without any perceptible differ
ence in its prosperity. K.
Johnston in Globe-Democrat.

English People on the Continent.

I was once for month at one of these
German springs, where there was little
knot of English people with whom spent
my time. had passed score of years
in England then, and fallen, perhaps
into many English ways. At any rate I
did just like these. They were people of
position at home; marchioness, the
daughter of q duke, an earl and a countess,
two married daughters of other earls,
with their husbands, and all Of that sort
They formed little clique of their own;
knew nobody else of all the thousands,
saw each other half dozen times day
and were very intimate, while it lasted.
All rose at and went to the spring; they
had to walk q quarter of an hour between
the glasses, and some were ordered six or
eight glasses of morning There was
music to listen to and there were thou
sands of people to look at, and the bracing
air of the morning was an unusual sensa-
ton to most of them.
After the waters, they all went to the
bakers and bought their own rolls, which
they carried in pink paper bags to some
rough table under the trees, to which
coffee was brought. Perhaps eggs were
allowed, but certainly neither butter nor
napkins. And it was amusing to watch
the fastidious fingers and aristocratic lips
adapt themselves to these unfamiliar
circumstances. I believe they sometimes
compromise on paper napkins, but it
would have been considered bad taste to
indulge in any further luxury. Dinner
was often taken by half dozen together
in public hall if a,table large enough for
so many could be found; or there was q
long table d'hote, at which have seen the
daughter of earls economize over their
clarct, and sickle for what was left from
yesterdays repast. But they always
placed themselves puncsiliously according
to degree, and when they rose the woman
of highest rank was sure to precede; her
sisters of quality holding back for her
with proud humility. For your true aris-
tccrat Is as careful not to go too soon in
the line as to fight if put back too far

Origin Of Lefthandedness.

DIR. Daniel Wilson, president of the
Royal Society of Canada, has lately con-
tributed paper to the proceedings of that
society on the subject of lefthandedness.
He reviews the various causes to which
the general preference of the right hand
has been ascribed, and also those to which
the occasional cases of lefthandedness are
attributed, and finds them mostly unsatis-
factory. He shows clearly that the pref
erential use of the right hand is not to be
ascribed entirely to early training. On
the contrary, in many instances, where
parents have tied up the left hand of
child to overcome the persistent prefer
ence for its use, the attempt has proved
futile. He concluded that the general
practice is probably due to the superior
development of the left lobe of the brain,
which, as is well known, is connected
with the right side of the body. This
view, as he shows, was originally sug-
gested by the eminent anatomist, Profess
sor Gratiolet.
Lefthandedness is q purely human at
tribute, and probably arose gradually
from the use, by the earliest races
of men, of the right arm in Sight
ing, while the left arm was reserved to
cover the left side of the body, where

most dangerous. Those who neglected
this precaution would be most likely to be
killed; and hence, in the lapse of time, the
natural survival would make the human
race in general fright handed" with oc-
casional reversions, of course, by "ata-
vism," to be left handed, or, more prop
erly, the ambidextrous condition. The
more frequent and energetic use of the
right limbs would, of course, react upon
the brain, and bring about the excessive
development of the left lobe, such as now
generally obtainss The conclusions from
this course of reasoning are verysimport-
ant. Through the effect of the irregular
and abnormal development which has de-
scended to US from our bellicose ancestors,
one lobe of our brains and one side of our
bodies are left in o neglected and weak
ened condition. The evidence which DIR.
Wilson produces of the injury resulting
from this cause is very striking. In the
majority of cases the defect, though it
cannot be wholly overcome, may be in a
great part cured by early training which
will strengthen at once both the body and
the mind. whenever" he writes, "the
early and persistent cultivation Of the full
use Of both hands has been accomplished,
the result is greater efficiency, without
any corresponding awkwardness or de-
feet. "-Science.

They Gave Up the Machine.

The Swiss, as q body, move slowly.
Expedition has no charms for them.
They have no liking for haste and hurry.
This trait was amusingly illustrated the
other day. A banker at Lausanne bought
a typewriter. 1t worked well, and he
told his friends that he was delighted with
it. Only few weeks later it was sent to
the market place to be sold at auction.
When asked why he gave up the machine,
the banker naively said that, with the
typewriter, the business letters of the
firm could be disposed of so quickly that
the clerks were left in idleness for great
part of the day. He therefore abandoned
the machine and returned to ordinary pen
and ink. In such a country it is mar
velous that there should be railroads and
steamers. Charleston News and Courier.

THE QUESTION.

Still on the lips Of all we question
The finger Of Gods silence lies.
Shall the lost hands in ours be foldedf
Will the shut eyelids ever rise?
o friends! no proof beyond this yearning,
This outreach of our souls, we need;
God will not mock the hope he giveth;
No love he prompts shall vainly plead.
Then let us stretch our hands in darkness,
And call our loved ones DER and DER;
Some time their arms shall close about US,
And the old voices speak once more.

How Madstones Arc Formed.

Since the people have been convinced
that there is virtue in madstones they are
springing up all over the country. While
at Uuion Point q few days ago we saw a
magnificent maidstone, as large as a
Banks county biscuit. The gentleman
who owns this stone says it came from
Alabama, where there was large deer
lick. They are said to be found in deer
who visit these ticks, and the mineral
taken into the animals stomach there
forms the maidstone. The gentleman also
informed us that he had seen two mad
stones broken open, and in one of them
was found a bullet and in the other an
acorn. Madstones are getting in demand,
and fine market will be open if the dogs
continue to have the distemper. Athens
